3 Summer Essentials with The Feminine Crusade

I
am super excited about guest posting over Grace’s beautiful blog today.
I found out what a sweetheart she is when she designed my blog. Thank
you for having me today girl.

In
summers I look for two things in my makeup. One, is it waterproof? Two,
would it make my skin dewy? So this post comprises of 3 of my summer
essentials, a mascara that would not melt even on Mercury (don’t take me
literally please) and a blush and a BB cream that would make sun hit on
all the right places.

MISSHA PERFECT COVER BB CREAM

Foundations
find a place in the back of my drawer when I fish all my BB Creams out
in the summer. I would not be able to live without a BB Cream in this
weather. It gets so hot and humid that the thought of having anything
heavier than a BB Cream on my face makes me cringe. I even steer towards
tinted moisturisers sometimes. But Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream
is my all-time favourite because it feels as light as a tinted
moisturiser and gives the coverage a BB Cream should. Not like all the
claims the many drugstore BB Creams are making today. On top of that,
besides having skin-adjusting properties it also gives a beautiful glow
to my skin. And oh it also has SPF.

DAINTY DOLL CREAM BLUSHER IN ORANGE COUNTY GIRL

Have you ever stared into your NARS Orgasm’s pan and wondered how cool would it be if it melts into creamy goodness? I know you haven’t, lol. But still, Orange County Girl is Orgasm’s
cream blush form in some ways. It is very similar in colour, a gorgeous
warm peachy-gold, but it lacks in pigmentation and staying power. I
love cream blushes, they make my cheeks look like glowing apples haha. Orange County Girl looks amazing on me, the soft coral-peach with hints of shimmering gold. I don’t even use a highlighter with this one.

MAX FACTOR FALSE LASH EFFECT 24 HOURS MASCARA

This
mascara is a PAIN to remove. One of the reasons, you won’t see this
mascara budging no matter what. If you have problems with runny
(waterproof) mascaras, then this might be your answer. I very rarely
wear this one, since it really takes so long to have it off my eyes. But
since it is summer, and holiday season, there are times when I am out
till night and I need something that looks as good as new by the end of
the day, then I’d turn to this vile False Lash Effect. It is a one of the darkest blacks I own and gives full thick lashes.

I totally agree with you Shang J! :') My BB cream for the summer is the Missha one too! The blush looks so great as well so thanks for sharing! I'll have to go and check it out! Thanks for the post and nice to meet you Shang J, have a great day :)

I also have that Max Factor mascara and it is really a pain to remove. Although the colour is amazing, the blackest of them all, it really tends to smudge under my eyes so I don't really like it and use it only in extreme situations ;) xx
